Real Madrid are up to third in La Liga after beating Espanyol 4-2 at the RCDE Stadium on Sunday night. Karim Benzema bagged a brace, while Sergio Ramos and substitute Gareth Bale also scored to move Los Blancos above Sevilla.
Not even Raphael Varane receiving a red card on 72 minutes, or goals from Leo Baptistao and Roberto Rosales, with the latter confirmed by VAR, could prevent Real from winning a third match in a row in all competitions.

Real are in Girona on Thursday for the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-final, a tie the former lead 4-2 on aggregate.
